-

Former National Chapters Committee [NCC] for Hearts of Oak, Aziz Haruna Futah, has called for proper structures at the various stadia to help fight hooliganism.

Hooliganism in Ghana football has been a canker. In the ongoing 2020/21 football season, hooliganism has taken away the beauty of the game.

Match officials were beaten mercilessly by livid home fans of Wamanafo Mighty Royals in the National Division One League.

Some match officials have been banned and suspended indefinitely due to poor officiating.

And according to Haruna Futah the Ghana Football Association [GFA] and the government must come together to bring out a policy that will help curb hooliganism at the various stadia.
